Running 15:00 [1] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
Morning jogging from the villa.
Orienteering race 42:49 [4] **** 8.0 km (5:21 / km)
spiked:21/23c
POM day 4 and a race that was full of surprises. The biggest one being that our 5.2km course was actually 7.6km and the scale was 1:15 and not 1:10. The terrain was pretty strange as well, almost entirely covered in bushes despite a map that was mainly white. Vague sand dune terrain and very tricky in places, I made a couple of bigger mistakes but it was enough for an overall win, helped by the fact that some of the Norwegians didn't race today. With a late start I knew all about the scale and map issues, but I felt sorry for Mike and Nails who were early starters and had a hard time working out what was going on.
Swimming 45 [1]
5 lengths today. But put to shame by Mike who raised the bar with 30.
Orienteering 45:00 [2] *** 7.0 km (6:26 / km)
Jogging around Castro Marim with Shane. Our route started into some of the most open white forest I have ever seen before dropping into a maze of clay pans. Shane jumped a wide ditch to land knee deep in sucky clay with his new road trainers buried deep in the mud, so we sacked off the rest of it and went to explore the castle.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2]
For the O meet around the xc trails at the amazing sports facility in Santo Antonio.
